About this Event
Get Ready for the Nuclear Energy and National Security Summit
The Nuclear Energy and National Security Summit will convene Members of Congress, congressional staff, federal officials, industry leaders, academic experts, and national security stakeholders to examine vulnerabilities across the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle and identify bipartisan pathways to strengthen the domestic nuclear industrial base.
Hosted by the Nuclear Energy and National Security Coalition, the Nuclear Innovation Alliance, and the United Coalition for Advanced Nuclear Power, the summit will focus on securing the full nuclear fuel cycle supply chain, including mining, conversion, enrichment, fuel fabrication, advanced reactor deployment, used nuclear fuel management, material recovery, and long-term industrial base resilience.
The half-day program will feature a keynote provided by Chairman Chuck Fleischmann, panel discussions, Member remarks, and a bipartisan fireside conversation focused on nuclear fuel cycle security as a national security imperative.
Confirmed panel participants in the event include experts from George Washington University, Idaho State University, ClearPath, First American Nuclear Co., Omega Project, General Matter, Atkins Realis, Xenergy, BWXT, and Westinghouse among others.
Formal invitation, agenda, and RSVP details forthcoming.
*This event is a widely attended gathering in accordance with Congressional guidelines and requirements.
